Door 227 – Doors of York City (2)
This is the second of three galleries of pictures taken during a lightening visit to York at the end of June that included a short doorscursion. I am pressed for time, so will let the doors do the talking. I will be enjoying the Italian sun next week, but will try to do a Thursday doors post if I get time.
Meanwhile, enjoy:
So that draws things to a close for another week. Have a fabulous weekend.

Thursday Doors – 29 June 2023
Doors 226 – Doors of York City (1)
I was lucky enough to attend a conference in Harrogate last week, but decided to stay the night before in the nearby City of York, with some of my colleagues. I could tell from the moment of stepping off the train that this was going to be one hell of a doorscursion. To do it justice, I really needed to spend a couple of days in the place, but unfortunately only had an evening, basically the walk from the station to the hotel, and the walk from the hotel to a restaurant. My long-suffering colleagues had to keep waiting while I yelled from behind, ‘just one more door’. I realised that it takes a special kind of person to be interested in doors, and that most people are not.
This first set of doors are from outside the city walls, which are most impressive, as is the whole city, in fact York is a place I must visit again, but as a tourist rather than a delegate. Heree are some doors for you:
I couldn’t resist the ghost door at the end, mainly to show to my son, who is an apprentice stonemason and is interested in all kinds of stone work.
Well, that’s it for this week, and I hope to bring you some more York doors next time. Have a fabulous rest of week and weekend. Adios.

Doors 225 – Some gates of Bristol
A really quick one today. I had time earlier in the week to prepare some images from my archive, and I plumped for a selection of gates. All of these gates are from Bristol, none of them particularly special, but desperate times and all that…
The first gate boasts that is it the entrance to Bristol’s only camping and glamping site – I fear that they might have over-sold it a little. I hope you enjoy today’s selection:
Well that concludes proceedings for another week, I hope to have something a little more inspirational next time. May I wish you a pleasant end of week and weekend.

Doors 224 – Doors of Weston-super-Mare (2)
Obviously, I like to take pictures of doors, especially when I visit places that I don’t go to all that often, it becomes a bit of a habit to stop and look at a door that grabs my attention. It is difficult to know what constitutes a ‘good’ door and a door that is nothing out of the ordinary. I think this selection of doors from Weston-super-Mare on the north coat of Somerset sail quite close to the wind in terms of being ordinary, and being a little bit more interesting than that. I will let you be the judges of that, though.
I hope you enjoy this selection:
A short one this week – a very busy work day ahead.
May I wish you a great rest of week and weekend.

Doors 223 – Doors of Weston-super-Mare (1)
Last weekend, Paul H and I took a trip to Weston-super-Mare to photograph some of the street art there, not least the impressive recent additions from the last three years thanks to Upfest’s involvement with the Weston Wallz initiative. We hadn’t even left the station when I spotted a surfeit of doors on a Network Rail maintenance wagon – this was going to be a good day.
Being a seaside town, many of the doors are in fairly poor condition, from all that salt spray in the winter months, so, plenty of characterful doors, but not many ancient ones. The doors were a bit of a bonus on what was actually a street/graffiti art mission, but Paul was very patient with me as I snapped up a few interesting doors. I hope you enjoy them:
More to come from this trip in due course. My I wish you a happy end of week.

Doors 222 – Bristol street art and graffiti doors
I am definitely under the cosh at work at the moment, and simply haven’t had enough time to sort out Thursday doors, so for the second consecutive week I am serving up some street art doors from my archive – these ones were originally posted in August and September 2022.
Here we go:
OK, so you might have to search for the doors in these pictures, and in the last one the picture itself features a doorway, but it is the best I can do this week. I hope to collect some new doors this weekend.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
